TUE ELECTRIC LIGHTS TURNED ON
Thirty Seven Brilliant Lamps Shed,

That "consum nation devoutly to be wish

III Winston Is turned into a second cay.
Last Friday night it was quietly annouuc-

guests that the lights would be turned ON at
eight o'clock. Somehow or other the news
spread over the city and, long before eight,
crowd began to collect a. the engine

and strugg led to get near the windows. On
the inside about twenty-five Of the leading
citizens looked on, while the engineers Gil
ed up the machinery and got everything in
readiness. Promptly at eight o'clock the
steam was turned into the big eighty horse
power Ball engine and soon it was going at
the rate of 290 revolutions per minute, driv
ing the arc machine at $50 and the incan-
descent at 1900 revolutions every 60 seconds.
Scarce three minutes had elapsed before ey-
erything was running at rapid speed. Then
Col. J. A, Biting stepped to the DYNAMO
and, by moving rod, connected the cur
rent with the wires. In An instant, thirty
seven - 90 candle power lamps shed their
flood of glory in all parts of the city. The
beautiful purplish white lights are suspend

Now we have the lights and the good
work must go on. Our town is known far

building and loan association, a savings
bank, and many other improvements which
will add to the value of our property and
bring rolling tide of immigration into our
city. We cannot afford to fold our hands
and be content with our already charming
city. Onudrd must be our motto. We cam
not stand still. We must either progress
or retrograde. Which shall it be? We
must give "long pull, strong pull, and a
pull altogether" and a magnificent city is
ours

What Courteous Attention Did.

A short time since a gentleman from Cor.
slcana county, Texas, visited our town and
was shown over it by Capt. Belo, the clever
proprietor of Hotel Fountain He said 81
had no idea there was such charming
place on the Globe and don't wonder that
those who come here never want to go
away" As result of the attention shown
him by Capt. Belo and others, he concluded
that we had some of the kindest people in
world and decided to send his daughters to
the Salem Academy. They arrived last
week. So much for kindly attention to
strangers. We have beautiful, progressive
town and if we only show it to strangers
and let them know how kind the people
really are, we'll have town filled with en-
terprising men from all parts of the South.
Stick this in your hat.

An other Attempt at Theft.

About seven o'clock Monday morning,
some one broke into house on Masten's
row, occupied by Matilda Harris, col, who
was at work in Mr.. w. A. Whitaker's To-
bacco factory. She was known to have some
$50 in her house. The thief was frightened
away before he accomplished his attempted
robbery-leaving the drawer containing the
money about half open. Some noise had
evidently caused him to leave hurriedly be-
fore securing the money. This was bold
attempt at robbery in open day light.

A TOBACCO Roa,nlet

The Reidsville Times says: "one of our
tobacco buyers sold a Winston manufacturer
this week 10000 lbs of tobacco"
That just gives one an idea of how mach
tobacco Winston is using She not only
manufactures the greater part of the leaf
brought here, but has to buy it from other
towns. The manufacturers say they are
crowded all the time with orders, more than
they can fill for some time to come. 1t
shows another thing, too, which farmers
will gladly note, that Winston pays higher
prices than many towns, else how could a
manufacturer afford to buy from Reidsville !?

Too Much "Tansle-Lep" Aboard.

A Winston darby on Saturday night,
after buying his usual line of provisins to
last him over Sunday, started for home, but
before reaching said home, he concluded to
lie down and "snooze" it awhile, which he
did. His "tangle-leg on board" caused him
to sleep long and loud. Several youngsters
passing the old man, the idea originated at
once among them to have some sport. First
they gathered his basket of provisions and
the next idea struck them was to take off
one of his shoes. They then put off down
street throwing package into every mans
;ssorch and lot they passed, and last--but not
Ledst-the old mans shoe was thrown against
one mans door with such force as to arouse
him to the belief that burglars were about
The old darkey was astonished next morn
ing to find himself at home--with his basket
and contents nowhere to be found.
